The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 744

Sebastian could tell she'd just woken up. "Is now a good time to come in?" he asked softly.

Citrine nodded and stepped aside to let him in. Sebastian gestured for the room service staff behind him to bring in the breakfast.

Once the staff had left, Citrine asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I ha—” Sebastian started, but changed his mind mid-sentence. He coughed awkwardly and admitted, "Actually, no, not yet."

He looked a little sheepish and avoided meeting her eyes.

Citrine didn't think too much of it, assuming he genuinely hadn't had breakfast, so she invited him in. "Come on, let's eat together."

Sebastian nodded.

"You go ahead and start. I'll just freshen up," Citrine said, heading straight for the bathroom.
